The machine
Operating System
Syscalls, processes, files — the layer EDR was built to watch.
01 Compare
Neo vs. the controls you already own.
Existing tools were built for other layers. Here is exactly where each one stops — and where Neo picks up.
The short version
They watch other layers. Neo watches the agents.
EDR guards the OS boundary. CASB watches network paths to SaaS. Shadow-AI tools list what is running. None of them enforce policy on the agent layer, on the device, in real time.

EDR
Watches the OS↔app boundary. Blind to what runs inside the application.

The Actors
Human or AI — every action tied back, in real time.
- EDR One interface.
- The OS-to-app boundary, where system calls cross. By design.
- Neo Everything inside the application,
- plus the actors driving it. Where agents, plugins, and extensions now live.

Endpoint Detection & Response
Neo vs. Legacy EDR
EDR guards the OS-to-app boundary. It was never built to see inside the application, where agents now run.
View comparisonCloud Access Security
Neo vs. CASB / SSE
Cloud access tools watch network paths to SaaS. They cannot see an on-device agent acting through a sanctioned API.
View comparisonAI Discovery Tools
Neo vs. Shadow-AI Discovery
Discovery tools show you what is running. They cannot stop a thing.
